Org-agenda - show content outline from multiple org files

Org-agenda - show content outline from multiple org files

[Avner]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 590 bytes --]

Hello,

 

I have a list of org files associated with org-agenda.

In the Org-Agenda buffer, I want to have a outline content view that shows
the headings from all the files.

 

In org-agenda, I can apply "search for keywords" (s) and "Multi-occur" (/)
to present all the headings, which I can then visit in the org file buffer

However, these headings are shown as regular strings. What I'm looking for,
is a way to present them in color, and indentation according to the heading
level, similar to the "contents" presentation in the org file itself.

 

Regards,

 

Avner Moshkovitz

Hi Avner,

Maybe this is close to what you are looking for?

(setq org-tags-match-list-sublevels t)
C-c a m LEVEL<4 RET

should show levels 1-3 in all files with sublevels indented.  Sorting by
priorities and things is going to mess up the order in the list.

For me only the TODO keywords are coloured and indentation is done with
leading dots in the agenda view but you can visit and modify the
headings directly from the agenda.

HTH.

Hi Bernt,

Sorry for the long delay - I couldn't find a way to edit the post (I don't have an account).

Yes, this is what I was looking for.
I also added the functions below to step through the headings and open them in different buffer

Thanks for the help.
